then update to 0.7.0-rc.6.

Note that the upgrade sequences are only needed when updating with Over-the-Air updates or using YModem particle flash --serial.

Note about Downgrading [Electron/Photon/P1] OTA or YModem transfer: You should downgrade to 0.6.4 to ensure that the bootloader downgrades automatically.
